Answer
Newton’s second law of motion states that —
The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the force applied on it and the change in momentum takes place in the direction in which the force is applied.
Newton’s second law of motion provides the quantitative value of force, i.e., it relates force to the measurable quantities like acceleration and mass.
